As the debate for inclusion for Nigerian League players in the Super Eagles team continues, coach of the side, Gernot Rohr has insisted that he and his technical crew alone can pick players who will represent Nigeria.
Rohr said he would not be forced to pick bad players for Nigeria and only the best will play in the Super Eagles and he will not be told on how to go about selection.
The Franco-German coach made it clear that he is on the look out for only the best player to represent Nigeria regardless of where they are born or where they play. He also confirmed that he is in talks with some players of Nigerian descent to switch allegiance.
He said “It’s not a part of my contract to take players who are not good like other ones. I can choose my players myself. It is the most important thing, so nobody can tell me you have to pick this one or that one.
“I can take the best players and I don’t do it alone, I have my assistants, I have my analyzer and we speak about the players. We have to pick the best no matter where they are coming from”.
